		<description><![CDATA[No, the end of the story is this Number Four, aka Berty Judas, aka The Traitor, aka Baron von Dongschotz committed the crime of treason against the Packers  by engineering his way out of the trade to the Jets—perhaps feigning or at least embellishing injury to induce release from Mangini—for the express purpose of playing for our most hated rival, the Vikings.    By his own admission, he did this to “stick it to Green Bay.”  With the hindsight of 2010, whereby Rodgers and the Pack swept Berty Judas and the Vikings, culminating in one of the most valiant Super Bowl runs ever, it is all too easy for folks to be lulled into a state of gooey complacency about this matter.  In the end, as it turned out, all Berty ever did was deny the Packers a division championship a year before they were truly ready to recapture the Lombardi Trophy.
This only came to be so by the thinnest of margins—one errant pass intercepted in New Orleans.  Absent that, given the Colts’ performance in the Super Bowl two weeks later, it is, at the very least, quite possible, if not probable, that, but for that single interception at the end of the NFC title game,  Berty would not only have beaten the Packers twice, but would have led our most hated rival their first Super Bowl Championship ever, thus breaking the spell we have over them, once and for all.
This WAS his intention—this WAS his design.   And one only need to revisit the smug look of contentment as he looked on from the Vikings’ sideline in either of those two games that painful season to be forever reminded of this, or perhaps those vile Sears commercials in which he jests about once having liked the color green.
All of this is of course compounded by the absence—even to this day-- of even the slightest attempt to at least feign the slightest concern for what these actions did to the legions of Packer fans who once supported—nay adored--- him in spite of everything up until to that point. 
Detractors like you will point out what ‘he did for Green Bay.’  It is precisely because of his importance in Packers history—and at least up until 2009 importance to Packer fans—that make such crimes so heinous, and so completely, indelibly beyond even the suggestion of forgiveness or reconciliation.  No figure who came to personify a franchise had ever played for a hated rival for the express purpose of foiling his prior team.  Of course, such sentiments overstate the importance of Number Four in the renaissance of the Packers, downplaying the role of Bob Harlan, Ron Wolf, Reggie White, and above all Mike Holmgren, without whom the quarterback may have never risen out of obscurity in the first place.
People forget all this. People also forget the toxic, poisonous environment that man created for Thompson, McCarthy and even Rodgers, putting the entire organization in grave jeopardy of not being able to function.  People overlook the sort of brass balls it required for Thompson and McCarthy to stare into NFL mortality, with the cold, steely eyes of an assassin,  and say “No.”   Of course, it then required Rodgers to put forth an unparalled, superhuman effort, culminating in a Super Bowl Victory, an MVP award, and all around the greatest career stats ever enjoyed by a quarterback to nullify this toxic environment that this man created.  And in spite of it all, some residual effects are still seen even today.
For all these reasons, his crimes—his treason!--against the Packers must never be forgotten, and he must NEVER be forgiven.  Retire his number and welcome him back to Lambeau?  It is not just that the time is not right now, it will never be right given the outrages he—and he alone—perpetrated.  I for one hold that man in absolute contempt and disdain.  I hate his guts.  And I call for Packer fans everywhere to demand his eternal banishment from Packerland, for now and forever more, until the end of days.  
CURSED BE HIS NAME!]]></description>
